1099 locum

Full details

The schedule is 09:00 - 19:00, as posted. An immediate locum opening for a CRNA focused on cardiac anesthesia is available in Atlanta, Georgia, on a 26-week contract. Candidates should have at least one year of experience, with one to two years as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting preferred.

The role centers on preparing and delivering anesthesia and caring for patients before, during, and after surgery. The anesthetist also takes part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, stabilizes trauma patients, provides critical care, and manages acute and chronic pain. Ongoing study of new anesthesia techniques, equipment, and drugs is expected, along with thorough and accurate charting.

Applicants need an active, unrestricted RN license valid in Georgia, and a license with no flags or open investigations. A BSN is required, along with a master's or doctoral nurse anesthesia degree from an accredited program, with the DNP required beginning in 2025. Certification through the NBCRNA and continuing education to keep both that credential and state licensure current are also necessary.

Desired strengths include hands-on anesthesia skill, sound judgment under pressure, clear communication with surgical teams, careful attention to detail, and the ability to adjust quickly as patient status changes. The agency states that the employer will compare the candidate's profile with these qualifications.

Compensation is described as competitive and transparent, and the agency offers travel and lodging coverage, malpractice coverage with risk management support, and help with licensing and credentialing. Assistance with assignment logistics and simplified timekeeping and document handling are also part of the package, with other benefits provided where legally required.
